Ahead of the Game
My head has reached mythical proportions, I think.
I’m serious! I think my skull has increased in size!
Today, I bent my head down and it actually started hurting. I think it was due to the massive size of my head.
I need to go and see a doctor because I don’t think your head is supposed to hurt when you bend it down. I mean, gravity isn’t supposed to affect your head like that, right?
In other news, two of the children bumrushed me today when I got home. I went to go pick up my mail from the community mailbox and…
Ino: “Reese!”
Reese: “No, no, no. Whatever it is, not today. My head really hurts...”
Ino [interrupts]: “Reese, I am selling desserts, jewelry, and other items for a fundraiser for my school. Would you be interested in purchasing something from my catalogue?”
Reese: “No.”
Ino: “Pleeeaaasssseeee? It’s for a good cause!”
Reese: “Wait a minute! I’ve seen your school. You guys aren’t hurting for anything.”
Ino: “Schools ALWAYS need money, Reese!”
Reese: “Meh….”
Ino: “C’mon! Buy just one thing.”
Reese: “Sigh. What kind of stuff are you selling?”
Ino: “Well, we’re selling…”
Sakura [Ino’s older sister]: “Here, here! Look at my catalogue!”
Ino: “Sakura!!!”
Reese [takes Sakura’s catalogue]: “Gimmie that.”
“Yeah, yeah, okay there’s something cheap enough for me to buy. Alright, I’ll get…uhh…one of these thingys.”
Ino: “Reese! You can’t order from Sakura and not get something from me!! I asked you first!!”
Reese: “Sigh. Gawd, you children are killing me!”
Ino: “Reese!!!”
Sakura: “Ino, leave Reese alone! Stop bothering her!!”
Ino: “That’s not right, Reese!!!”
Reese: “Gawd, chill!!”
Ino: “Chill?”
Reese: “Arrggg! I never said I wasn’t going to buy from you too, Ino!! What kind of a person do you think I am that I would buy from one sister and not from the other!?!”
Ino: [looks at Reese suspiciously]
Reese: “Here, gimmie your catalogue…”
“Alright, gimmie that. I want that thingy.”
Ino: “Yes! Alright!!!”
Sakura: “Hey!! That’s not fair! What you bought from Ino is more expensive than what you bought from me!”
Reese: “It’s only fifty cents difference!!”
Sakura: “It’s more!”
Reese: “Well…Ino got here first, so I gave her more.”
Sakura: “That’s not right!”
Reese: “Well look at it like this…you learned an important lesson: the early bird gets the worm.”
Sakura: “What?”
Reese: “Sigh…”
“Next time you have a school fundraiser get to the customers before your sister!!”
Ino: “Hehehehe, yeah, Sakura.”
Sakura: “Psssht! Whatever!”
Reese: “Alright, children. You got your money, now shoo! I gotta alleviate pressure from my head.”
Ino & Sakura: “What?”
Reese: “I gotta headache! I need to take some Advil.”
Ino: “Oh, okay.”
Sakura: “We’ll bring your stuff to you when it comes in!”
Reese: “Great…”
Ino & Sakura: “Thanx, Reese!!!”
Reese: “Whatever.”

Did they give you the cute face and big eyes? I always tell the kids to use the cute face and big eyes when they sell my goods...I mean when they have fundraisers...yeah fundraisers.
Ay fundraisers!
I tell kids with catalogs that if they take the catalogs away from me, I will give them cash that they can keep rather than end up with more of that school catalog crap in my house.
They usually take the deal.
